In addition, they are also promoting global expansion, supporting businesses around the world with advanced technology and unique ideas.

-------------【 Job Description】-------------

■Recruitment Background

The company currently operates multiple products, including its core data integration platform, and has surpassed 2,500 client companies. As the products evolve into massive services utilized across diverse enterprise environments and the portfolio continues to expand, the development organization has reached a critical transition period. While individual teams have successfully optimized their specific domains, challenges have emerged in formulating and executing a holistic, medium-to-long-term technical strategy.

Currently, the VPoE leads the resolution of cross-organizational technical issues and overall architectural governance. However, in anticipation of an IPO and discontinuous business expansion beyond that milestone, it is essential to have a leader who can drive "strategic re-architecture," the "planned elimination of technical debt," and the "creation of a next-generation standardized development foundation" with powerful leadership.

The company is seeking a Staff Engineer who possesses both high technical rationality and a management perspective to leverage technical excellence as a catalyst for business growth.

■Responsibilities

Reporting directly to the VPoE, you will be responsible for optimizing the architecture of existing products and leading technical strategies from a management perspective. Beyond simple design and implementation, you are expected to play a core role in driving the business forward through technology.

【Specific Focus Areas】

・Architectural Design Supporting Product Strategy:

In the AI era, where data utilization is key, you will ensure the continuous and speedy delivery of value by addressing the true challenges of customers. This includes optimizing common foundations and API integrations to prevent silos between products, and the formulation and execution of highly scalable architectures.

・Cross-Organizational Technical Debt Resolution & Development Process Improvement:

You will formulate roadmaps for the planned elimination of technical debt accumulated in past development cycles. Furthermore, you will elevate the entire development organization by building development processes tailored for the AI era, enhancing Developer Experience (DevEx), and standardizing test design and code quality.

■Position Highlights

・Building Next-Generation Architecture to Lead Technology SaaS in the AI Era

While the company's existing systems have stably supported some of Japan's largest data traffic, it is recognized that architectural limits and bottlenecks are emerging in the face of the AI era's demand for rapid value delivery. You will lead a fundamental overhaul—from dismantling legacy systems and creating common foundations to implementing AI-native architectures. This offers the profound experience of directly driving business scale through the power of technology.

・Creating Modern Development Processes for the "Built by AI, Used by AI" Era

We are entering a paradigm shift where AI-assisted development (e.g., Claude) is becoming the norm, and products themselves are increasingly accessed by AI agents. To capture this shift, the role involves collaborating across functions—including QA and Design—to build new development processes and environments optimized for the AI era from the ground up. As a cross-organizational architect, there is a significant opportunity to lead optimal technology selection and define core design principles.

・Evolving from "Building it Right" to "Winning with Tech": Resolving Bottlenecks from a Management Perspective

This is not a 0→1 startup phase; it is the 10→100 scale-up phase where growth meets technical debt—the most rewarding stage for an engineer. The mission is to identify and resolve every bottleneck in current product development, removing the "brakes" on business growth. Operating with a perspective close to management (as the VPoE's right hand), the role offers an exciting environment to tackle the chaos of technical debt with immense discretion.

■Development Environment

・Languages

Ruby (Rails), TypeScript (React), Java (Embulk)

・Infrastructure

AWS (Primarily EKS and ECS Fargate)

・Configuration Management

-------------【 Requirements】-------------

【Required】

・Extensive experience with medium- to large-scale web services, spanning requirements definition, architectural design, development, and operations

・Experience leading the identification and resolution of technical challenges across multiple teams or products

・Ability to understand business requirements (such as management goals and business plans) and translate them into mid- to long-term technical strategies and roadmaps

・Ability to take a hands-on, pragmatic approach to troubleshooting and prototyping when faced with complex technical challenges

【Preferred】

・Experience as a CTO, VPoE, VPoT, or Tech Lead at a startup or large-scale venture

・Experience designing shared infrastructure and migrating to a microservices architecture across multiple products

・Experience with performance tuning in high-traffic environments and large-scale data processing

・Experience operating production environments using Kubernetes (e.g., EKS)

・Experience with large-scale development using Ruby on Rails and React/TypeScript

【Ideal Applicants】

・Broad perspective and strong sense of ownership, with a willingness to manage and coordinate with stakeholders to achieve objectives.

・Ability to break down high-level management and business challenges into concrete technical issues and execute them effectively.

・Fearless in the face of change or chaos, leading the organization by example through hands-on involvement.

・Flexibility in technology selection, without being overly attached to specific tools or stacks, focusing instead on what is optimal for the goal.

・Strong resonance with the company’s mission and values.
